Voting analysis
One of Shomari Figures's bills provides tax relief on infant sleep products. Safe sleep equipment is the sort of thing that gets recommended by every paediatrician and bought by every new parent, and taxing it is a small regressive charge on a decision nobody is choosing to make. Another of his filings creates a tax credit for first-time parents, working the same ground from the other side.
Of all 23, 22 currently sit at Introduced.
Agriculture tops his classified subjects. The remaining bills cover a memorial to a wartime aviation unit, equity in veterinary education, and one carrying an acronym.
Sponsored bills carry the Congressional Research Service's own subject classification. Shomari Figures's cluster into: Agriculture and Food (8), Congress (2), Government Operations and Politics (2), Taxation (2), Transportation and Public Works (2), Education (1).
Three amendment crossings
Three of his departures are amendment votes where he was an aye and his caucus a no — two of which carried. Democrats supporting amendments their own side opposed is a less common shape than the reverse, and it suggests he was working the text rather than registering a position on the bill.
His remaining departures are three crossings on completed measures and one further amendment vote.
